The world is facing the 4th Industrial Revolution based on innovative technology. Not long before, the latest technology such as virtual reality, IoT, artificial intelligence, will be a main part of our daily life. Intellectual property and industrial security will become more important in this age. With the fundamental paradigm of industry changing, we’re facing new tasks in terms of intellectual property and industrial security. Intellectual property is growth engine and the future property of a country. With constant exertions, Korea has become one of the four largest patent powers in the world. However, we still have a room to improve the environment surrounding intellectual property and industrial security. Enterprises are still embroiled in global patent disputes and we’re constantly suffering technology leakage. We have to find a wise way to overcome these problems. Financial News’ topic for the conference this year is the future patent of artificial intelligence and the economics of intellectual property. we will open a place for intensive discussion about intellectual property strategies for future patents, technology protection in the complex technology era, technology protection for export companies, etc. I believe this conference will be a great help to development of our industry with the greatest experts in intellectual property and industrial security. I wish all of you have meaningful time. Thank you. Jae-Ho Jeon |
